The Dean of the Engineering Division HAROLD P. SKAMSER is a graduate of Wisconsin State College. He received his Masters at the University of Minnesota and his BS, EE from Michigan Stale University in 1948. engineering The Engineering division rolled into their second year with the same enthusiasm they exhibited in their freshman year. Activity was the keynote in the group ' s participation in such school affairs as the Homecoming parade, Poly Vues, and etc. , But all was not play with this group. Field trips to business concerns in the surrounding area, dinner meetings with guest speakers in the trade, all of these were part of the added educational burden which each student voluntarily placed upon him- self. Again not too much can be said for the in- spired leadership of the experienced and capable instructors. Certainly the students benefitted from our unique learn-by-doing curriculum. This gave the prospective engineer a headstart in the im- portant category of experience which all employers desire. May the Engineering division continue to grow and may their interest in Cal Poly continue. The Welding Instructor for the Engine ing Dept. is LEO P.
